Camping Out

Since the girls had so much fun at our Christmas slumber party we decided to have a spring slumber party. I decided to do a campout theme! First, Toby and I set the tent up in the living room. Then we started cooking hot dogs. My initial plan was to have the girls cook their own hot dogs but I decided against it. So Toby cooked the hot dogs. We had our cookout in the garage because it was a bit windy outside. The girls had a great time making their hot dogs and eating them. After they ate their hot dogs, we made smores! Yes, smores...what was I thinking they were so messy. I was thankful I decided to have the cookout in the garage. I looked up some camping games online but I could not find any age appropriate so the girls entertained themselves. Once it was time for Avery to go to bed the girls came downstairs and had popcorn and a movie! When the movie was over the lights went out. Did they go to sleep? No, of course not, they talked and giggled for about an hour and a half. Now I understand what the parents felt like at slumber parties when I was a kid. Finally at 11:00 p.m. I told them I could not go to sleep until they did. Thank goodness it was not long after that that they fell asleep. In my opinion, it is more fun to be the kid than the parent because as a kid you can catch up with your sleep the next day. They woke up about 7:30 and had breakfast. Then it was off to the playroom and the girls created their own magic show. It was brilliant!!! The girls enjoyed their time together and look forward to a summer slumber party. Not sure what I will do for that one?
